this new album is fantastic! a lot heavier with less pop infulences couldn't have immagined a better album ill be seeing you guys at the thompson house.. thats a crazy ass place for shows so be prepared for the hauntedness of its presence on may 1st.. who would win in a fight, a flying vampire ninja squirrel, or a swimming werewolf with a grenade launcher o.O

You put your album up for stream the day after it leaked online - was this in response to that or was it just coincidence? Have you ever monitored whether or not your album has leaked prior to release date with your previous releases, or are you not bothered and accept it's likely to happen?

Yeah once it leaks, it's out. I would rather people hear the high quality version in the way it was meant to be presented. Personally I would rather have people get the physical version because we spend time on the artwork and it plays a large part in the setting the mode and the tone but that is just not really part of music culture anymore, unfortunately.

Hey guys!
Looking back now what do you think has changed the most since From the Depths of Dreams?
I'm booking my SF tattoo over the Easter period and I'm way beyond excited to show off my love for you guys.

First, the new Album sounds awesome, and i love how you did a harder album.
I have experienced bands becoming more and more popular always do a softer album after their 'breakthrough', loosing a lot of quality. Thanks for not beeing like that, stay the way you are, do what u like, i will always be a fan, since you make good music :)
Now my question, have you ever played in Germany or plan to do so in the future? I'd travel pretty far for you.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Yes, we have played Germany before but unfortunately we don't have any plans to come there right now. Hopefully in the next couple months we will make our way over there.

I have been waiting for the chance to really thank you guys for everything you've done throughout the years. I watched you guys place live at Warped tour about 7 years ago and fell in love with the music. Every single one of your albums have helped me stay sane during the toughest times of my life. I have always been able to come back to your albums to find relevance of situations I myself have been going through. Thanks guys for everything you've helped save this soul.
